A community of practice is a group of people who share a common concern for something they do and a commitment to learn how to do it better through regular conversations, interaction and collaboration.
Individually, we all have demonstrated an interest and commitment to Peer Mentoring to Support Students with Disabilities. We also want to share our expertise and learnings with each other and other teachers throughout Alberta.
